There's a great monthly meet-up called Space City REI that would be a great resource for you - next one is August 21!

The mold remediation companies I've contacted (Tallahassee, FL) have quoted me $700+ to survey the home and create a detailed report however I'm not sure the home cleaning services will actually remove the mold well enough to keep it from coming back.

You’d be shocked by how little actual screening many PMC’s do!

Depending on your STR area, the table stakes to compete is very high right now so your furniture and amenity spend is going to be way higher than you think.

@Lilach Holtzer hope your well after our chat a couple of weeks ago!

But they appear to be suggesting that you're paying retail. 

Every adult residing in your rentals should be screened and approved by you.Criminal history is not an automatic denial, but you should definitely consider risk.

It seems to be in good shape, with updated electrical, mechanicals, and roo.

I brought a partner into this deal to get it done, I will be funding the rehab portion of this Fix and Flip deal.

Our project is going to look a lot like a 5-unit apartment building but on paper, it won't be.
